Organizational inertia is a problem, but not a problem that a language or Standard can fix.
When an organizational logjam is broken, programmers can immediately switch over to the better, more modern way of coding enabled by the newer Standard they are allowed to use. If they were on C++98, and now they can use C++14, they are still better off than before, even if the current Standard is C++20: they will be able to code according to best practices for C++14, which are better than for C++98.
